Let's change the world. We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to join the AI & Data for Engineered Biologics team within Amgen's Large Molecule Discovery (LMD) organization. In this vital role, you will advance data-driven prediction and design of fit-for-purpose proteins by developing machine learning models that connect sequence, structure, biophysical measurements, and experimental outcomes to biomolecular developability and structural tractability. Your work will reduce reliance on trial-and-error workflows, improve the probability of experimental success, and guide construct and condition selection for large-molecule discovery.\nThe successful candidate will work in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, partnering with protein scientists, structural biologists and ML engineers to support decisions from early design through sample generation and structural characterization.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\nDevelop and apply machine learning models to predict sequence-to-property relationships.\n\nDevelop scalable, reproducible data-processing, feature-generation, model-training, and evaluation workflows for large-scale biological datasets.\n\nDesign, implement and train state-of-the-art foundation models including protein language models, diffusion models, or other generative approaches using multimodal biological data.\n\nDevelop interpretable and uncertainty-aware modeling approaches that quantify confidence and support decision-making.\n\nApply active learning and Bayesian optimization to guide experimental design and iterative improvement of protein design workflows.\n\nCollaborate cross-functionally with experimental teams to define modeling objectives, prioritize experiments, and interpret results.\n\nCommunicate scientific findings clearly through presentations, written summaries and discussions with technical and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nWhat we expect of you\nWe are all different, yet we all use our unique contributions to serve patients. The dynamic professional we seek is a Senior Data Scientist with these qualifications.\nBasic Qualifications\nDoctorate degree with 4+yrs in Data Science, Computer Science, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Computational Chemistry, or a related field\nOr\nMaster's degree and 8+years of directly related experience\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience developing predictive machine learning models for biological, structural, biophysical, or experimental outcome data.\n\nStrong programming skills in Python and experience with modern machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch\n\nExperience with Python scientific computing tools, such as numpy, scipy, pandas, etc.\n\nExperience with protein language models, representation learning, transfer learning, and generative modeling.\n\nExperience with uncertainty estimation, model validation, calibration, and generalizability assessment across experimental conditions.\n\nFamiliarity with active learning, Bayesian optimization, design-of-experiments, or closed-loop experimental workflows.\n\nExperience working with large-scale datasets and in high-performance computing environments, including cloud-based platforms (e.g., AWS)\n\nFamiliarity with reproducible machine learning and software engineering practices, including version control (git), testing, containerization (Docker), workflow orchestration, data versioning, or experiment tracking.\n\nStrong scientific communication skills, with publications in leading ML, computational biology, or protein science venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ISMB, Nature Biotechnology, Nature Methods, Cell Systems, MABS, PNAS or comparable conferences and journals; candidates should highlight representative publications on their resume.\n\n.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3777,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Prescription Drugs","Biologics & Biosimilars","Immunology & Inflammation Therapeutics","Cardiometabolic Therapeutics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T16:30:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.253,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":115,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:4","stale_co","evergreen","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/amgen-senior-data-scientist-4","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/amgen-senior-data-scientist-4.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T13:47:04Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20704,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4775},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4775"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Famgen-senior-data-scientist-4"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Famgen-senior-data-scientist-4"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Famgen-senior-data-scientist-4"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/amgen-senior-data-scientist-4\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Famgen-senior-data-scientist-4"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3343696}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"amgen.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3343696},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
